The Town of Rogersville was recently awarded a President’s Risk Management Award from the insurance divisions of the Alabama League of Municipalities.
Approximately 775 public entities participate in one or both of the Alabama League of Municipalities-sponsored insurance programs, which are the Municipal Workers Compensation Fund (MWCF) and the Alabama Municipal Insurance Corporation (AMIC).
The Board of Directors of both insurance programs approved the establishment of a Risk Management Award system in 2002.
The award system “recognizes those members who have instituted risk management and loss control activities in an effort to reduce their loss ratio.”
In a press release, the League noted, “Through the efforts of the Town of Rogersville, employee, property and liability losses are being minimized and – most importantly – employees and citizens are reaping the rewards of a safer workplace and community.”
Recipients of the President’s Risk Management Award, which included the top 5% of those members with minimal losses for a five year period, received a specially designed memento.
The Alabama League of Municipalities, organized in 1935, represents more than 450 member municipalities.
The League “works to secure enactment of legislation enabling all cities and towns to perform their functions more efficiently and effectively; offers specialized training for both municipal officials and employees; holds conferences and meetings where views and experiences of officials are exchanged; and conducts continuing studies of the legislative, administrative and operational needs, problems and functions of Alabama’s municipal governments.”
